What are nachos, exactly & where did nachos come from?

A great way to serve nachos to a larger party is to layer them, baking in between each layer. Start with a base of tortilla chips, cheese, salsa, jalapeño, and any warm fillings like meats and veggies.

Once the cheese melts, remove from the oven, add another layer, and repeat. This extra step ensures your nachos are well-covered and evenly baked from top to bottom. Check out our oven baked nacho recipes below or scroll-on to learn how you can also make this mouth-watering dish in the microwave!
